We will give audience the possibility to have private meetings with artists, architects and designers, to meet them personally and share their art and experience. Each exhibition will have a strong program of video art screenings and premiers, art residencies, talks, workshops, live dj set, live experimental dance and art performances.

SURFACES  FESTIVAL is organized and curated by Arch. Luca Curci (founder and director of THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space, ITS LIQUID GROUP and LUCA CURCI ARCHITECTS), in collaboration with Venice Events at THE ROOM Contemporary Art Space, and organized and curated by Arch. Luca Curci and Andrea Chinellato (director of Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi) at Palazzo Ca’ Zanardi.

PLACES are connected to the concept of time, memories, borders and disorders. Places are tangible and finite unit of space. We can experience places through body or senses. This division of the festival invites artists and architects to explore new grounds, searching a new vision of contemporary places, related to new human behaviors, city transformations and everyday life needs.

To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video-art), links of projects/videos/films/performances and pictures of artworks and architectural  projects by e-mail to lucacurci@lucacurci.com.
